Glad you brought this up, I have been meaning to post about this subject.
This should be treated like any other fluid level and checked at every oil change interval or before any track event.
We have found several cars with low coolant levels, when the coolant level gets low the pump won't run causing very high IAT and low performance.
The computer protects the engine through IAT 2 sensor and pulling all the timing.
Any time the system has been opened/Drained, it should be Vacuum bleed of air.
If the pump senses no load/AIR the pump will cease to run to protect it self from burning out.
So if you change a part in the system i.e heat exchanger, coolant reservoir, pump upgrade, it is imperative that proper fill procedures are done.
